Wow! Within one light year! Just 70,000 years ago. That star grazed and disturbed the Oort cloud and the Kuiper belt objects. Some of them would have
settled in other gravity wells near by. But many would have fallen into the gravity well of our Sun. They will create a veritable rain of comets.
Just brace yourselves fellas. In just 200,000 years one of these comets will strike the earth and kill 99.9% of all known species. Projections are humans will be only species left at that time subsisting on eating each other. But why engage in idle speculation?
Since the Earth is going to be hit by a comet anyway in 200,000 years, why bother with conservation, environmentalism and organically grown tomatoes? Just enjoy life.
It is just a matter of time before we liberals win the election. At that time when we want to come grab your guns, it is nearly impossible. Because Republicans have placed so many restrictions in government keeping track of gun obsessed fanatics that do not simply obey our commandments.
Now! with this Gunbook all those people who must be put down ruthlessly to make sure our Liberalism, Globalism and the Third World Order go unchallenged will be self identified! Our task has been made so much simpler.
Thank you Gunbook. Wait!
It is from the UK, the bastion of obedience and cradle to grave welfare state where we vote ourselves benefits paid for by taxing the idle rich. Is it possible this Gunbook was actually created by my comrade in arms? Is it a Flase Flag operation? Have I blabbered too much and gave the game away? OMG! What have I done!
I mentioned it earlier. The idea of a human being in the driving seat would be alert enough to override the autonomous mode is really really stupid.
If there is no need to steer, the attention wanders and it is impossible to stay alert. This was discovered almost 100 years ago in the railroads. The engineer had the exacting task of watching for grades and monitoring speed, especially those days with weak steam locomotives that responded very slowly. Still they would get bored and fall asleep. They invented the dead man's treadle. The engineer must keep it pressed, or the locomotive will stop. Even now there are various techniques to check and keep the engineers alert on railroads.
With that much of history, it is stupid for autonomous cars to just leave the driver there. They should have active devices that do challenge and response to make sure the human operator stays alert. Else it is a waste to put a human being there.
With a rough guestimate of half a billion users at that time, it comes to 100 friends per person.
It is an interesting number. Steven Pinker argued our brains evolved in extended family clan social structure. And that our brains are incapable of holding more than 200 persons. We extended the "persons" to entities. Most people can not name more than 50 friends or relatives strictly from memory. With address books and contacts etc they can stretch it to about 150 to 200 range. If asked to "like" or "dislike" people, entities, national groups, any grouping, most people can not go beyond 200 without resorting to paper, notes and other aids.
People wore distinctive clothing, religious marks, war paints and other external symbols so that strangers will know who they are. Treating aggregate groups of people and marking the whole group friendly, hostile, to be obeyed, to be ruled is a mental leap that took some 10,000 years to form. Starting from the sedentism created by domestication of dogs, then animals and then plants at around 20,000 years ago, we could become peaceful enough to live in larger and larger agglomerations by about 7000 years ago. That was the start of aggregation from clans to tribes, tribes to nations, nations to empires.
It is the social norm that does it. More than 50% of engg grads from India are women, enrollment rate is in favor of men, but graduation rate is in favor of women.
But the first 90 minutes of downloading and setting up the installation and staging the files will happen before you reboot. Then, Presto! it takes only 30 minutes to install!
Continue to do what you have always done, but move across the border and suddenly it is legal!
US Steel sets up plant in Brownsville TX and lay a pipeline across Rio Grande and spew pollution in its
sister plant in Matamoros, Mexico! Been there, done that, got the TShirt (made in bangaladesh)
The existence of such a virus was first hypothesized by the scientist Bertrand Russell.
This is a very special virus that infects its host, H sapiens. It affects their brain and make them identify the virus strains that compete with it (genus Celestial species teapot) and go on an all out effort to get rid of the competitor. The C teapot virus will occupy the niche vacated by these aggressive treatment, but the brains of the H sapiens it affects will never see it or identify it.
As people leave, it would be a good idea to create fake profiles.
It would be a good idea for people to create a few fake profile and donate it to some activist group that can create a series of fake posts, fake news etc and dilute the value of the data anyone still using facebook.
He might have been absent. But not AWOL. He is his own boss and he does not need any one's permission. He can not go Absent WITHOUT LEAVE by definition.
You windows users are such wimps, needing so much of anti virus software. As a certified fanboi of Apple I don't need no such thing and I am totally protected. I am not scared of virus...
Wait, I am way off base here, right? It's not that kind of virus, eh?
Well, why waste a perfectly typed comment? Hit submit.
I brought up this issue, but nobody on the forums took it seriously. I gave up on the whole idea after that. Seems to me the idea of allowing random text into the blockchain is an obviously bad idea. I didn't even realize that was possible.
Let me guess, some jobless pedantic nazi took issue with "forums" and argued for "fora" to be the correct word. Right?
After he published the first dictionary of the English language, a high society lady thanked him. "Thank you, Mr Johnson, for leaving certain unsavoury words out of your dictionary!". Johnson replied, " I am shocked, m`lady! You knew them and were looking for them!?".
I checked out, what appeared to be an innocuous book on the History of the Pennsylvania Railroad Steam Locomotives.
But I found someone has underlined strange and apparently random letter in page 33. When I transcribed all those underlined letters, it revealed links fo dark web, illegal porno content etc. I hurriedly returned the book. Anyone caught with that book is in for it....
It looks more like someone with access to your machine, can write a script to brute force and find the master password and unlock all remaining passwords.
More likely to be used by roommates, spouses and cohabitating couples than by Russian hackers.

You are a Trump enabler. Deep in your heart you want Trump to be the POTUS but you dont want your fingerprints on it.
Now China wants its turn.
Why is this modded up? It's half gibberish.
And half is not gibberish? How can you tell?
Everyone knows you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Technically the future generation will come true only if the older generation fucks around... but I do see what you mean.
They are firing carbon based life form workers and are installing silicon based robots.
I would argue in favor of reputation because I have an achievement score of 34 and I have karma to burn
Achievements = 2
I guess you don't have enough reputation to be trusted.
